Contacting the Yorkshire Swan Rescue Hospital
Our daily opening hours are 9am to 6pm, seven days a week.
For all enquiries regarding injured swans and wild animals, please call our telephone helpline on 01757 544554
We aim to answer every enquiry we receive. Due to overwhelming numbers of calls for our help, if your call is not immediately answered, we politely request you do not persistently call our helpline, as this will naturally delay our response time to you. Instead, please leave your name, telephone number and a short message on our answer phone, and we will return your call as soon as we are practically able to.
Deliveries of wildlife casualties to our sanctuary is by pre-arranged appointment only, so we can prepare in advance suitable accommodation, equipment and or appropriate treatment that may be required.
As a wild animal rescue service and rehabilitation centre, we regret that we are unable to assist with domesticated species or pets of any description.
Whilst we provide an entirely free rescue service and sanctuary facility for injured swans and wild animals, we respectfully ask you consider making a donation when contacting us regarding an injured animal, so your support can continue to further our important and valuable work.
We have a list of Frequently Asked Questions, with detailed replies, on our website.
For all non-emergency enquiries, please email us at info@ysrh.org.uk
Please only email us with non-emergencies. Do not email us details of wildlife casualties, as we may be unable to check our emails frequently due to the volume of work at the sanctuary.
